Man, we've got a lot of really cool projects going on this year! I think there's more serious Electric Bass R & D going on here in Luthier's Corner, than there is in the rest of the industry. We're pushing the boundaries. This is a lot of fun.

Winter Build Off 2024 - Best Bass For...
- Thread starter Beej
- Start date
I just got around to looking at the Best for Theatre thread. Wow! I like to play in sawdust a bit but that one is really heavy R&D. Honestly most of it is over my head but I'm happy to try to learn.
Perhaps a little off-topic:
I'm still very new here and only know this corner, but if the whole internet was this friendly and helpful, the world would look a lot better!

I'd say it's on-topic; the LC is pretty special in this regard and it's what makes these build-offs great.
Completely agree with the above...
What kind of weird anomaly is this corner of the internet where the residents are welcoming and supportive?!

Funny you should say that. Yesterday I was reddit r/bass forum , there was a busy thread trashing talkbass saying its just a cold unfriendly place full of a bunch 70 year old just showing off gear. Personally I love it here.
I spend almost zero time in the rest of TB; maybe the rest of the forum is different than here in the LC?
Not really, IME. TB is one of the friendliest sites on the internet.
The usual biases older dudes have. But I'm also older so I fit here better than I would on r/bass. Talkbass has its share of people who are going to continue believing whatever they first believed when they were teenagers in the 1970s or whatever, but it also has a pretty good number of people who've got hard-won wisdom and are generous with it.
Each of the sites has their moments of pointless fighting, to be sure. I guess it's a matter of which kind you've developed more of a tolerance for.
Just posted two assembly builds, one a DNF completion from last year, the other new.

Yeah, today is the first one in a couple of weeks where I might actually be able to go make solder fumes.
The weekend is looking fairly warm. I'm predicting solder fumes, wood chips, and crimped connectors possible Friday through SundayYeah, today is the first one in a couple of weeks where I might actually be able to go make solder fumes.
There are 54 days remaining.
This year, we have exactly 90 days to complete our instruments and get them to a place of being giggity. I'll keep threatening the timeframes as we move forward.

Thanks, Beej. That's what we need. More time pressure.
Ok after much deliberation , as I was dealing flood related home repairs (just finished) and a new work contract coming up I am in.
